A MORE PERFECT UNION

Hana Schank had never given much thought the her wedding, or even really imagined herself married, so when she found herself suddenly sporting a brand new engagement ring she assumed planning a small, low-key wedding would be no big deal. But soon she finds herself adrift in Wedding Land, a world where all brides are expected to want to look like Cinderella, where women plan weddings with fantasy butterfly themes, where a woman’s wedding is, without question, the Happiest Day of Her Life.

“This book is required reading for any once-coherent woman now faced with the sudden onslaught of save-the-date cards, prenups, and decisions like … is sage the new pink?”
-NIA VARDALOS, writer, director and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding

“Schank’s journey from engaged to enraged to ecstatic is at once wry, informative, scary, and utterly hilarious. Finally, a book that documents the sheer insanity of today’s $72 billion wedding industry while making you laugh out loud on almost every page.”
- CATHI HANAUER, author of Sweet Ruin and editor of The Bitch in the House

“A pitch-perfect, witty dispatch from the front lines of modern American wedding rituals. Hana Schank’s story – liberated modern woman meets the behemoth of wedding planning – is hilarious and bracing.”
-LIS HARRIS, author of Rules of Engagement
